Shorter Ann Althouse: “Romney’s appeal to birthers is simply a claim that Obama is un-American, which therefore cannot be racist.  Romney/Ryan, by opposing social programs that Americans overwhelmingly support and supporting massive upper-class tax cuts Americans overwhelmingly oppose, are the real Americans.   At any rate, the fact that wholly evidence-free claims that the first African-American president was born outside the United States are believed by a plurality of Republicans certainly has nothing to do with race, and Romney’s pandering to this group is clever if not admirable.”

Althouse, as she has in the past, is working at an impressive level where she can encompass both ironic post-birtherism and birther curiosity, although admittedly David Koch got there first.      For further context, it’s worth recalling the strains Althouse is willing to undergo in order to invent farcical claims of racism against Democrats.

…In a great catch from Jesse Taylor, La Althouse in comments: “There’s also the fact that the state Obama was born in is Hawaii… so immensely far from the rest of the country.” A shiny new copy of An Army of Morons Davids to the first reader who can find Althouse making a similar claim about Sarah Palin or of evidence of an anti-Palin birther movement among Republicans. She comes from so far away from the rest of the country! Noon, you must have the goods!
